SURVIVORS’ TRIADS
HORRIBLE EXPERIENCES. (Australian Press Association) (Received this day at noon.) SYDNEY, Dec. 17. .Survivors, including Captain Hamer, of the wrecked Norwich City arrived at Sydney by the Lincoln Ellworth. Daring their four days on Gardner Island, the horrors of hordes of vicious poisonous rats and huge land crabs with pincers eight inches long, together with a lack of food, made Die ordeal almost unbearable. After the explosion, Captain Hamer was thrown into the surf and given up for lost, but he miraculously found his wav ashore.
One of the survivors said: —“There were sharks everywhere. I saw some of our men in the water fighting hopelessly. Their bodies were washed ashore later horribly mutilated.”
